In its daily prowl of the neighborhood, a cat makes a displacement of 118 m due north, followed by a 86 m displacement due west. if the cat takes 43 minutes to complete the 118 m displacement and 19 minutes to complete the 86 m displacement, what are the magnitude and direction of its average velocity during this 62-minute period of time

146.01 m

Explanation:

Given

First cat makes a displacement of 118 m towards north, Followed by a 86 m displacement due west.

Total displacement will be line joining the starting and the end point given by

its direction would be given if we consider the position vector of final point

let is the angle made by vector with Y-axis

and

average velocity

magnityde and direction
